Reality: How to live in the now more

Happy Reality Day! Here is your weekly dose of reality to help you live 1% happier.


1 Insight From Me

You live in each second in all the coming future, and 99.9% of these seconds will be just as mundane or boring as your life now, no matter how successful you are.

Really let this sink in.

1 Insight From Others

You only live in the present, this fleeting moment. The rest of your life is already gone or not yet revealed.

— Marcus Aurelius


1 Question For Yourself

What’s the future you fear so much, that you are just too scared to let go? Exactly what bad thing could happen?

1 Small Step To Take

Slow down.

Slowing down is the first step to seeing clearly what reality really is.

1 small step for the following week: when you are eating or walking, try deliberately eat slower, walk slower.

At first you might feel a bit fear of letting go, fear of missing out, but hidden in it is this subtle feeling of calm.

Then you will start to realize that you don’t need to be always on a rush, at all.

Until next week,

Reality: 如何更好地活在当下

Happy Reality Day! 开始本周3分钟的Reality, 1%的happiness ↓


1个我的领悟

你活在每一秒中。不管未来的你有多成功、多有钱,一天中99.9%的每一秒都会和现在一样平淡,没有任何感觉就过去了。

好好品一下这句话。

1个其他人的领悟

你只生活在当下这一瞬间。过去已经过去,未来还未到来。

— Marcus Aurelius


1个问你自己的问题

你无法活在当下,是因为你总在担心未来。那你到底在害怕未来会发生的哪些事情呢?找张纸,写详细,一条条列出来。

1个小尝试

慢下来。

慢下来是看清现实到底是怎样的第一步。

接下来一周尝试:每次吃饭、走路的时候,都故意慢一点。

刚开始你可能会感到一种不敢放手的害怕,或者会错过点什么(比如吃饭时候不看手机好像就会错过几个大新闻几个亿)。但是在这种害怕后边会有一种平静的感觉。

然后你会逐渐意识到原来你根本没必要一直处于一种快快快冲冲冲的焦虑状态里,事也没少干一件。


你觉得本周这期简报有帮助吗?欢迎回复。

下周见,

Ted Wild
